I live in a US state that borders Mexico. We obviously have many people coming here to use the hospitals, benefits (Medicare, WIC, etc.) all free of charge.
With the highest birthrate in the country for unmarried women, they don't seem to be victim to the adoption industry the way white girls are. There seems to be a double standard in this country--Mexican girls are allowed to keep their children, get benefits (weather or not they're citizens) and not harrassed for 'paying what they owe' like white girls.
I worked at a big-box retailer PT for years. There was a sweet Mexican girl who had become pregnant, and hadn't yet signed up for insurance. When I expressed genuine shock and worry for her, she touched my arm, and said, "Don't worry, people like me don't have to pay to have a baby."
So, if that's true, then why are these white girls made to feel that there is no choice? Why are they desparate in the wealthiest country in the world? Is it demand for white babies?
